Plz tell me how to use baking soda to remove blackheads ?

Not the best remedy: Blackheads are comedones, pores clogged with dirt and oil. The best way to help this is washing with soap and using nonprescription benzoyl peroxide to reduce oil production. Baking soda is an antacid, and is a poor substitute for skin care

Not likely to work: I think this is an "old wives tale" , (that is, a home remedy) and it is unlikely to work, Some medicated soaps help. See a Dermatologist for medications/home treatment/prevention program!!!
